Risotto Bianco Recipes

RISOTTO BIANCO WITH ENOKI AND FRESH PEAS

Steps:

• 1. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the enoki mushrooms and cook until crispy and brown, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, the onions, and garlic and cook until soft but not brown, about 8 minutes. Add the rice and turn up the heat.
• 2. Stir the rice to coat completely with oil and toast lightly. Add the wine and keep stirring until absorbed into the rice. Lower the heat, add a ladle of warm broth (about 1/2 cup) and stir with a pinch of salt. Keep adding the broth, one ladle at a time, stirring until each portion is absorbed. Continue cooking, adding broth until the rice is soft and creamy with a touch of bite (al dente), 25 to 30 minutes total.
• 3. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook until just tender and bright green, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and transfer the peas to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
• 4. When the rice is just cooked, stir in the butter and Parmesan, followed by the peas and enoki mushrooms. Serve warm with crusty bread.
